They’re tearing the street up, it’s going to be closed for two years. I suppose by government standards, that’s pretty snappy.
Scary-looking infrastructure.
There are a lot of mosaics underground, many are very themed and elaborate.

LIRR service replaced by buses until September. Bleh.

That ladies and gentlemen, is the face of a serial killer.
Then up in the Bronx, further proof that spam is everywhere.
On a 4.2 mile journey through Williamsburg, Bed Stuy, and Bushwick, the Williamsburg Bridge spoke to me.

Right after this, I shaved. It didn’t make me look any better really.

The original plan, as usual, was to go to the Greenwich Village Halloween Parade, but as usual, that wasn’t to be. Wednesday morning involved wrapping up a nearly sleepless mess that began Sunday. The best I could do, was follow-through on plans to photograph a lit Empire State Building at dawn. Normally the ESB lights are turned off at midnight, but for Young Frankenstein on Broadway, it was left on overnight.
At long last, my nightmare was over.
Frau Blücher would approve. (cue whinny)
The first sign of dawn was just before 6:45am.
The clouds clung to the darkness
Downtown sparkled in the sunrise
Facing midtown, it was still pretty dark
Rising by the Manhattan Bridge
The colors were striking
Another letter to someone. I see a lot of those here.
The sun continued to push its way up.
The light chased the darkness from the clouds.
In the west, you could barely see the orange lights anymore.
Although the sun itself was yet to be visible from the bridge, it was time to go.

I needed to go to a client’s office down by City Hall. On a whim, I decided to walk back to Brooklyn.
Developing feelings for the bridge will get you a ticket.
I discovered Osama bin Laden hiding on the bridge in plain sight.
High St. was somewhere under there… somewhere.

Last night, because I’m sick of being sick, I decided to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge.
Out of towners might be surprised to learn this is Brooklyn
That’s the Statue of Liberty out there in the harbor
The Empire State Building in yellow and the Chrysler Building
A lazy Sunday evening downtown Manhattan
The end of the journey
Nights like this, I wish I had a better camera.
